Answers :-

1. He lacked the understanding of what he was supposed to do.

Explanation :-

• As we are directed to add "lacked" in the sentence, the meaning of the sentence should remain the same.

• When we add "lacked" in the sentence can be turned into negative or positive or vice verse.

• The punctuation should be kept in mind as improper use of punctuation can change the meaning of the sentence.
